Both Gluten And Lactose Intolerance


Mary88

Recommended Posts

Mary88 Newbie

I was hospitalized for two weeks with horrible colitis. When I was discharged I was put on a gluten free and lactose free diet (with NO instruction I might add) My husband and I are in our early sixties and this is a hugh life-style change for us. We have always eaten well -- whole grains lots of fruit and vegetables, and now suddenly everything is turned upside down.

Has anyone out there ever been in my position? Can someone recommemd a book that address this combination of issues? I am becoming very depressed and really want to talk with someone who understands this. Thanks

you can continue to eat the same way (minus the whole grain bread) by changing the grains you cook. rather than having bulgar or barley, for instance, as a side dish, make brown rice or quinoa or amaranth or lentils or beans. all the fruits and vegetables are still fine. if you're eating whole foods, and cooking from scratch, you'll find there aren't too many modifications.

can you post a few examples of what would be normal meals (for all times of the day) for you that might help us provide some specific help?

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
